- 1884, James Macaulay, True Tales of Travel and Adventure, Valour and Virtue, Hodder and Stoughton (1884), page 76:
  His government was a system of Bashi-Bazoukery plus slave-raiding, with this difference, that in Sarawak, unlike the Soudan, the slave-raids were undertaken by the orders and under the direction of the Sultans or Rajahs of Brunei.
  […]
  Sarawak became independent, the Bashi-Bazoukery from Brunei ceased to trouble the tribes, and the homes of the villagers were no longer laid desolate in order to supply victims for the Sultan's pleasure.
- 1884, "Chinese Gordon", The Contributor, July 1884, page 398:
  Its only redeeming feature was that it prevented internecine wars; and when occasionally a good governor-general was appointed, the Bashi-Bazoukery was reduced to a minimum, and the force of the Egyptian Government was exerted for the repression of the slave-trade, which is the staple industry of the Soudan.
- 1885, Archibald Forbes, Chinese Gordon: A Succinct Record of His Life, Funk & Wagnalls (1885), page 169:

  He would not hurt a fly, and though he has shown himself very bellicose of late, and has with outstretched hand fiercely denounced Turkey and all its works, it is probable that if a Bashi-Bazouk were to stray within the paddock of Massey Hall, Peter would take him in and feed him, provide him with a short pipe, and do nothing worse to him than explain how he saved fourteen-pence on the Civil Service Estimates, and hint that if the Bashi-Bazoukery ever wants a financial regenerator, à la Goschen in Egypt, a letter addressed to Massey Hall, Cheshire, would reach the proper hands.
- 1979, Tim Garton Ash, "The Bulgarian horrors", The Spectator, 20 October 1979, page 10:
  Yet in truth there is scarcely any contemporary Bashi-Bazoukery on Bulgarian soil.
